Somewhat OT: Bad karma and social problems

Doubtful people are wondering. It is easy, when you feel like going on a rant or when sombody disagrees with you you scream INSULT or BIGOT in a failed attempt to lend credence to your position or to excuse your actions. You have done it many times. Nobody wonder's anymore.

in this and other groups, "insults are in the ears of the hearer". What

And that is what make's people different. It is called life, why don't ya get one.

that really is the point. but it gets lost in the constant whining from budd. you can't say anything about budd, you can not even take issue with a single word that he writes, that he doesn't cry religious intolerance. the only one to ever bring religion into the discussion is budd. in that perspective, mike may have a point. like we have all said, mike's best point in what he wrote is for budd to leave religion out of his posts. like roy, and many others, i have said and will say again, i don't care what religion or sex or color or lifestyle anyone choses or is. i judge people on their quality, nothing else. it is on that that this ng has judged budd, and nothing else. i am surprised that mike, who i deem to be a pretty good guy, got caught up in budd's rhetoric, which is just a hair short of complete insanity.

I just spent some time going over some threads of the past month or so. I'd invite anybody to take a look at them and point out a instance of c- bashing. I can certainly point out where budd has accused people of bigotry, censeorship, c-bashing, you name he accuses's people of it. What I find odd is that nobody voices any complaint about the degredation of the post's then. Take a look at the thread entitled "He's baaaaack!" of 9/8/06.

I have a life, a Christian Life, an Eternal Life, and a Savior, and forgiveness for my sins, but, Roy, the problem is you want me to give up Heaven for your Hell.

And it ain't gonna happen.-- Budd Cochran

See that's where you have it screwed up. Because I don't live my life the way YOU think I should I'm in hell. In my never ending pursuit of what the heck is up with you let me ask you a question. Did you ever have a drinking problem you sought help for? AA or an organization like that?

Oh, I told ya you couldn't help yourself and would continue to read.

Suddenly, without warning, Budd Cochran exclaimed (31-Oct-06 11:56 PM):

So it's over, not because I was being insulting, but because you are. I was simply saying what I believe to be true, based on what I read. I did not think it was funny, not in the least, but since you included helping the kid with his car in this particular thread, the clear indication was what I said.

I'm just going to agree to disagree with you. Anyway, everyone else, have fun. I'm outta here (this thread, not this ng).

Don't fret about it. You have just been subject to the new world order by Budd.

Do you deny the hateful unwanted comments you've made to almost everyone here? Do you deny judging people for their beliefs that differ from your own?

You missed the crux of my post entirely. I was not defending Budd... he's a big guy and can defend himself. Nor did I get caught up in his rhetoric. I merely made an observation that it seemed that some in the NG were using Christian bashing as a form of sport. I merely asked that as a group we consider others beliefs and feelings before we make this a routine practice.

That's all I'm gonna say about that....

now, let get on to more interesting stuff like torque wrenches or K$N filters or sumpin'...

Wait a minute You want to move on to interesting stuff, you say? How about we figure out how many amps, watts and whatever else it would take to create a heated seat large enough for my wide ride rabbit pal. Probably need a Cummins just to power the genset for it.

Hell, I've got the warmest ass in the group!! Just give me a crave case of White Castles and I'll warm up the whole cab....

I may have something better... Last week a group of guys got together and ground up horseradish. Everybody has their own little patch, digs up a bunch, gets together to grind it and can it. Not to mention telling a few bullshit stories along the way. This stuff will bring tears to your eyes, open up clogged nasel passeges and clean out your innerds if you give it an hour or so. Good Stuff!!

By God!! I think you might be on to something! If we slathered horseradish on Whitey's and ate 'em we could probably reduce our dependence on foreign natural gas overnight!

Another one ducks the responsibility of admitting he posted what could be taken as an insult.

I knew you were not trying to defend me but asking for a return to courtesy and I thank you for that, my friend. I have also asked for it and . . . .

My concern is what will happen with those that believe if you are not bashing me then you must be defending me. Will they attack you now? I hope not.

Thanks again.

I think the difference is you're smart and don't make an ass out of yourself regularly. The lack of the 7-lines worth of religious spam Budd insists on shoving in his posts gives everyone an easy target.
